Walk a Day

Rizen

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting back.
Walking greatly improves my mental health too. I'm feeling less irritable and depressed after walking.

I want this to be a support thread for people who exercise and eat healthy so if you do any of that post here!

Did my workout today.

Feeling depressed and low energy. I only walked a little over a mile. I keep having stress dreams like having to ascent a fire escape of a flooding building and poking out the eyes from a shark to get through the rising waters.

I hiked 1.5-2 miles today. Feeling pathetic because I tried a hard trail and couldn't make it all the way up so I went back and did the easy trail.

I walked 2 miles. Feeling really lonely and angry. Why do I have to be alone? I didn't fuck up my life with drugs or do anything stupid. It pisses me off how idiots and narcissists have community and the world handed to them.

hi, Rizen : ) i came to say hi to you.

yeah, but they don't know what to do with a great person like you or the great person who is going to find you.

a true heart like you are.

that person is also busy being great right now and you haven't met one another yet. that's all. give yourself time. that person is just as worth waiting for as you are xo

I walked yesterday, too! For the first time in a long time, thanks for physical therapy. I hope I can keep it up this time...

I joined Weights Watchers! Still trying to get with my diet. Doing better, but not where I need to be. Trying again today. Going to miss walking. Everyone is telling me not to walk, due to possible broken foot. Been broke for 4 months. I have to walk and take buses. Will see if I can take more pain after that. Saturday and Sunday walk a mile each day.. I know it is probably broken and hurts like heck, but still plan to go walking despite the pain.
